Two beavers were pulled from the area and are credited for keeping the oil spill from spreading into a nearby reservoir.

The American beavers are receiving medical care at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah. Since the accident, 4 more beavers have been rescued and taken to the rehabilitation center. You can check the progress of the beavers’ recovery on the rehabilitation center’s facebook page.
